The air elemental is the last of the set of painted miniatures kindly supplied to me by a generous reader. It's taken a long time to get to this one, but it was fun constructing a storyline that would lead here.


2026-03-25 Rerun commentary: The other thing that was fun about the elementals was constructing visual effects for their speech bubbles. I wanted them to all represent the element somehow. So for air I made it a sky with some subtly clouds to indicate that it's not just simple blue, and made the edges fuzzy.

Lay pretty long, that is, till past six o’clock, and then up and W. Howe and I very merry together, till having eat our breakfast, he went away, and I to my office. By and by Sir J. Minnes and I to the Victualling Office by appointment to meet several persons upon stating the demands of some people of money from the King.

Here we went into their Bakehouse, and saw all the ovens at work, and good bread too, as ever I would desire to eat.

Thence Sir J. Minnes and I homewards calling at Browne’s, the mathematician in the Minnerys, with a design of buying White’s ruler to measure timber with, but could not agree on the price. So home, and to dinner, and so to my office.

Where we sat anon, and among other things had Cooper’s business tried against Captain Holmes, but I find Cooper a fuddling, troublesome fellow, though a good artist, and so am contented to have him turned out of his place, nor did I see reason to say one word against it, though I know what they did against him was with great envy and pride.

So anon broke up, and after writing letters, &c., home to supper and to bed.
